ABPAD #29 – confusing boobage

chervalier — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 09:17:01 +0000

eeks!! late again, I’m sorry!!! Blah.

thanks must go to Anna for suggesting this as the subject of a blog entry after I mentioned it on Twitter!
.

Basically, I watched the movie “Some Like It Hot” the other day, and, starting from the scene where Marilyn Monroe sings “I Wanna Be Loved By You” , she wears a really odd dress that’s backless and clingy and glittery (and i’m guessing gold in color but the movie was in black and white). The backlessness of the dress requires that she not wear a bra, and in this dress, she spends a part of the movie running around to docks and ships and stuff, tits a-bouncing every which way.

And it was, overall, a really odd and distracting experience for me. Part of me was going, “Wow, it’s Marilyn Monroe! She’s sooooooooo sexy!!” and another part of me was like, “Uhm.. yea..” *looks down at chest* “Yea… No bra… what??” I think my biggest issue with it was how naked she looked lol. And that despite that she ran around without regard, as if she were in a nudist film or something. Not that I have anything against it, or that it was BAD.. It was just unsettling to me.. lol.

I will not deny, though, Marilyn Monroe is still one of the sexiest women to ever have been on screen; I especially loved the way she interpreted “I Wanna Be Loved By You” – the breathy and babytalk way she did it was so awesome!

Have YOU watched Some Like It Hot? What did you think of the scene(s)? Do you agree with me? lol. Ciao all!

ABPAD #27 – dearie me

oh dear Lord how I’ve fallen behind! I almost forgot about today’s entry as well, and am only saved by a last minute metal reminder!
.
Gah. I’ve had a coupla crazy days, and have a crazy 2 weeks ahead! My schedule is packed to the brim, people. The worst thing is I have to meet some people (that “have” was more like a *HAVE*) but have utterly no time to meet them. I ended up scheduling my Friday night like so:

- Finish my thingum at 2100
- Meeting a friend at 2100
- Meeting another friend at 0000
.

Saturday has been similarly allocated too. Shit.
.
So you will pardon me for lapsing on blogging once in awhile? =) Pretty please? Heh. Afterall, I *am* only 3 entries away from meeting my target! =)) YAY!! Let’s hang in there, guys!
.
Question for you today: Has anyone watched American Horror Story? Thoughts/opinions/feelings? =))
.

ABPAD #23 – rushed!

chervalier — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:03:43 +0000

Almost forgot to update today! Well, nothing much has happened, but I think i’ll do a good update tomorrow, regaling you guys with my recount of my fantastic weekend – celebrating mine and lipei’s birthday with my good friends! =) Expect pictures =)
.
Love you guys and sorry for the abysmal update!

ABPAD #22 – argh

chervalier — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 04:28:37 +0000

Sheesh, I missed 2 days, I think! Oh no.
.
To make up for it, I thought I’d give you guys a really interesting premise in my entry today. Oh and it’s Friday!! So yea, cheer up folks! =)
.
Here’s my premise. I was reading this article and its title, “Terra Nova: You can’t please everyone but you can try” caught my attention. As far as I know, Terra Nova is a one of the many new shows premiering this fall, and is about people living alongside dinosaurs, as they’re trapped in a Jurassic Park-esque island or something.
.
As far as I know, in the pop culture realm (or at least on the interwebz) today, people are divided into several factions – Zombie-lovers, Pirate-lovers, Dinosaur-lovers or Ninja-lovers. They don’t necessarily have to be mutually exclusive groups, but there ARE people who prefer some over others. (PS I excluded Shark-lovers as it would come under “Violent animal” group and that has been labeled the Dinosaur-lover group.. Also, Vampires are kinda just zombies, aren’t they? Dead people who are alive and thirst for blood..? Yea.)
.
With that in mind, I thought about the title of the article and mused. If they were to try to please everyone, they’d make a show about Zombies/Vampires living in a Dinosaur-ridden land, taking on occupations such as Ninjas or Pirates to fight for survival. And I thought, yea, why not? The Vampires would be the intelligent zombies who still have their faculties with them, while the zombies would be one of the enemy-types, along with Velociraptors and Tyrannosaurs. You could feed zombies to the Dinosaurs to give them food poisoning.
.

In short:
Races: Humans, Zombies
Occupations: Ninjas, Pirates (amongst others)
Environment: Dinosaur-land
Threats: Dinosaurs, Zombies, Viruses, Apocalypse

.
What do you think of this premise eh? =)) Dibs on the rights to the book and movie and tv show. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!!!! =D

ABPAD #21 – caity

chervalier — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 08:59:44 +0000

THANK YOU CAITY for being such an awesome person =)
.
I sometimes worry that these ramblings might sound narcissistic, and I’m pretty sure there are some people out there who would vehemently agree that they are, but oh if you only knew how much I’d prefer to leave this alone and not have to blog every day.
.
This commitment business is tough, I tell ya. I have content for full articles, not quick in-a-minute blog entries. Those articles/entries would take days to write and my daily schedule doesn’t allow for that!
.
I’m also rather behind on my design overhaul.. lol. Terrible. Life has been busy, as always, and somewhat indulgent =P It’s the new TV season, c’mon =D
.
I hope Anna’s doing well. <3
I hope jaytee’s doing well <3 <3 <3
I love y’all.

ABPAD #20 – yay for twenty!

chervalier — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 07:49:54 +0000

wow I’ve made it to #20! 10 more to go (2 weeks) and I’ll be taking a break from the daily blog posting. In fact, I think that the daily (forced) blogging kinda makes/has made my blog a lot more boring, since it’s become less insightful and a lot more drivelly (not a word).
.
Once I’ve hit #30, I should already be overseas, so I’ll slow down on the blogging.. I hope to blog every alternate day, if not then at least 2 times a week? =) That will make it tougher to keep to though.
.
Have you ever wondered what kind of a friend you are? Just a thought. Think about it, people. Ciao! =)

ABPAD #19 – tv shows hell yeah!

chervalier — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 07:57:10 +0000

I’m so happy the tv season is back. I’ve liveblogged a few of them and thought I’d put some snippets up here.
.
First up, my (somewhat incomplete) liveblog of the Emmys:

.
somewhat live-blogging the Emmys

Emmytones not doing it for me. Jane did great so far!

hmm okay i jumped a lot but turns out my version is incomplete. back to liveblogging later! =)

.
.
.
Now, I’m not going to liveblog my tv shows, just gonna put up a summary of my thoughts for each show’s premiere:
.
Glee:
highlights:
anything Wemma-related was actually very interesting and funny
blaine/klaine duh!
tina having more lines
I did not like the Skanks. I’m sorry.
I did not quite like Sugar Motta either. I like the witty writing, but not her.
.
.
Now, Modern Fam. In a word (or three), Awesome As Usual. I loved all the crazy antics. I liked the guy who hit on Alex. I love how Dylan basically is already totally a Dunphy man. He fits in with the likes of Luke and Phil! Gloria’s singing – glorious as always.. I loved the comic timing of all of them. Luke’s lost weight!! Yay for Phil being manly. Yay for Claire being right. Yay for Cam’s really “happy” celebratory dance and banner. lol. I LOL-ed way too much during the 2 eps.
.
.
I’m holding off on Criminal Minds until I finish Seasons 5 and 6 (i’ve watched like, half of each lol). So shush! And I’m looking forward to Fringe. And TBBT!
.
Ahh tv shows. It’s like coming back to an old friend. =) What tv shows do you watch and did you like the premieres? =)

ABPAD #18 – almost forgot

chervalier — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 08:32:34 +0000

almost forgot to do my daily blog today! heh
.
i’ve been pretty excited about the upcoming tv season! not that there’s anything new i’m looking forward to (apart from American Horror Story or whatever the name of Ryan Murphy’s newest show is..).. I’ve heard about Thomas Gibson (love him from Criminal Minds) guesting on the new 2 and a Half Men.. So i’m kinda intrigued..
.
Looking forward to new seasons from CM, MF, TBBT, Fringe, Glee, etc!! Hehe.
.
Lately, i’ve been quite crazy about a few songs, one of which being “Dance: Ten Looks: Three” heh. Wonder which of you can tell me why… =P
.
Alright, ciao guys! =)

ABPAD #17 – massagetimes II

chervalier — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 07:53:58 +0000

oh when I was at the massage place, I was very seriously considering putting up a protected Rated post on my internal monologue..
.
but now I can’t remember the details, and I thank God for that. This time, my thoughts revolved around my gladness that I’d showered, my OCDness about her touching, say, my back, after she’d kinda rubbed the soles of my feet.
.
And there was too much oil, as always. but the most disconcerting difference this time around has got to be the, uhm, sounds that I sorta involuntarily made.
.
it was nothing like Monica (Friends)!! It was just little contented “Mm”s that were the result of excessive exhaling through closed lips. Something like that.
.
Ok there seems to be no clean way to explain that. Whatever it is, massagetimes was good. Case closed.
.
.
How was your day? =)
